A member asked:
If a belt is too tight can it bruise organs and if so how long does it take to heal. and what does it feel like if they bruised?

Won't hurt you: Raising a bruise requires an impact. You can't damage your internal organs this way, or even bruise them (which is generally harmless) as they're packed to keep them safe even during contact sports. You can make your abdominal wall skin and muscles sore and tender from continual pressure. Loosen the belt, or trim down until it's right for you.
